"My mom called me out."
Chen Lu made up a reason on the spot, since Liang Zhirou wouldn't bother to confirm this with Wang Xiaoxia for no reason.
Where is Auntie?
"You've finished shopping and gone home?"
Liang Zhirou nodded gently, without giving it much thought.
She always believed whatever Chen Lu said, and the word "Chen Lu" was simply not in her vocabulary.
The same is true now, of course.
She nervously reached into her bag and touched the small ring box before quietly letting out a sigh of relief.
So what if it's embarrassing? As long as the real purpose isn't discovered.
But when she recalled how Chen Lu had deliberately teased her earlier, she still felt quite upset.
No, when we get home I'll bump into him a couple of times when he's not looking...
"What's up with you later?" Chen Lu suddenly asked.
He planned to distract this silly guy first, and then quickly go and get the ring.
It's not the same whether you take it early or late.
Even if he wasn't ready for a grand display, carrying a ring with him was always a safe bet. If he noticed anything amiss with Liang Zhirou, he would immediately perform a dramatic knee-sliding slide.
He'll be the one to propose first.
He felt his senses growing stronger that Liang Zhirou had ulterior motives, and he felt uneasy if he didn't carry it with him at all times.
It's best not to pressure this silly guy. After all, a marriage proposal is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it's better to make it a bit more elaborate.
Chen Lu suddenly felt a little awkward again.
A marriage proposal turned into this... well, actually it's quite funny.
After all, most people don't encounter this kind of thing. Most likely, they would just buy some flowers and candles online, arrange them in a heart shape, kneel down, and that would be enough to make a prayer. That's a bit meaningless.
Liang Zhirou blinked her clear, beautiful eyes twice. "I'm fine."
"Go home quickly if you have nothing to do. I want to eat dumplings tonight. You can still make them if you go back now," Chen Lu said shamelessly.
"I haven't had this in a long time. I want to eat the three-delicacy version as well as the pork and scallion version. Why don't you make some of them?"
Liang Zhirou was taken aback for a moment, but after two seconds she still softly replied, "Okay."
It's a bit of a hassle, but as long as Chen Lu eats more, that's fine.
Without hesitation, she grabbed her bag and prepared to leave.
"Are you going to stay here?" The girl asked him again after he had only taken two steps.
"No, I'll go out with you. I need to go to the company."
Chen Lu twirled the car keys in his hand, got up, and followed behind her.
Chen Lu was relieved to see Liang Zhirou ride away on her electric scooter. However, he did not turn back immediately. Instead, he drove his car out of the underground parking lot and circled the mall before deliberately entering through the back door.
After a while.
The jewelry store counter was suddenly tapped twice.
The boss looked up at the sound and saw a young man standing there in the middle of summer, wearing a trench coat, sunglasses, and a mask.
The man was dressed very conservatively, looking like a fugitive suspect.
"Um, I'm here to get the ring," the man said in a low voice, glancing furtively left and right.
"......"
He looks more like a fugitive suspect!
The jewelry store owner was dumbfounded after seeing two strange people that morning.
Is it fashionable these days to dress up like a thief before stealing a ring?
What's wrong with young people these days?!
......
A few days later.
Midsummer, the sun is blazing.
Hangzhou seemed to have turned into a giant furnace overnight. Green leaves were blown down by the strong wind and quickly dried up on the asphalt roads. The streets were so stuffy that it was hard to breathe.
The rented room was very lively; Chen Lu could hear the sounds from the living room even while lying in his bedroom.
"What's there to be nervous about in a mere Diamond promotion series... Sister-in-law, I'll carry you!"
Chen Lu closed his eyes and grinned, immediately recognizing that the two were playing a game.
If you search the entire city of Hangzhou, Liang Zhirou is probably the only one who plays video games with her sister-in-law every day.
Two days after Chen Mo finished his college entrance exam, Chen Guanglin and his wife Wang Xiaoxia went on a trip, seemingly to celebrate completing their glorious mission.
The two told Chen Mo to go wherever he wanted, and that they would give him money if he needed it.
He received the same treatment back then.
However, Chen Mo had no interest in traveling and had stayed in Hangzhou ever since he finished his exams.
I feel empty at home alone, so I often come here when I have nothing to do.
Chen Lu thought that given Chen Mo's cunning, she would leave the day Liang Zhirou's period ended.
After all, if we don't leave by then, we'll be making enemies with him.
After resting with his eyes closed for a while, Chen Lu got up and walked out of the bedroom. Like a zombie, he slowly swayed to the entrance and bent down to change his shoes.
"You two have fun, I'm going to the company."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at Chen Mo and said, "Also, Chen Mo, remember to replace your blue switch keyboard before school starts, or your roommates might beat you to death."
He could hear the clattering sound, like mahjong tiles, even from his bedroom.
“I have a keyboard that’s almost silent.” Chen Mo stuck out his tongue at him; this guy worries about nothing all the time.
Just as Chen Lu was about to open the door, he suddenly saw Liang Zhirou stand up.
"I'm going too," she said nervously.
What made you decide to go to the company?
"Yan Yan is going there today too. I want to go to your company to find her and play with Miao Miao."
Seeing that Chen Lu didn't react, her voice immediately became much softer, "No, is it not allowed...?"
Chen Lu snapped out of his daze and gave her a slight smile. "Why not? Go ahead, I'll take you."
The reason he was stunned just now was mainly because he felt it was strange to bring Liang Zhirou to the company and then huddle in his office to discuss the marriage proposal plan.
